  • A Short History of the Temperance Movement in the Hillfoots, by Ian

At the beginning of the 19th century widespread criticism of alcohol gained ground in Britain and elsewhere. Those who advocated abstinence from drink, as well as some who campaigned for prohibition (banning the production, sale and consumption of alcohol) started to band together from the late 1820s onwards. This formal organisation of those opposed to alcohol was new. It was in response to a significant increase in consumption, which in Scotland almost trebled between 1822 and 1829. There were several reasons for this increase. Duty on spirits was lowered in 1822 from 7/- to 2/10d per gallon1 and a new flat tax and license fee system for distillers was introduced in 1823 in an effort to deal with illegal distilling. 2 Considerable numbers of private distillers went legal soon after. Production capacity for spirits was further increased by the introduction of a new, continuous distillation process.

  • Notes on the Early History of the Kidston Family in Scotland
    NOTES ON THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE KIDSTON FAMILY IN SCOTLAND By: Robert D. Davic, Ph.D.; [email protected]. Pittsburgh, PA, USA; (March 17, 2015 revision) ===================================================================================== INTRODUCTION This document is a summary of notes my wife and I have gathered about the early history of her Kidston family ancestry from Scotland. My wife, Elizabeth Kidston Davic (b. 1951, m. 1974) was born in the U.S.A. in western Pennsylvania, second child of Richard Kidston and Gladys Thomas. She always knew that both of her father’s grandparents came from Scotland, but had few details. After retirement, and with more time to get involved with her Kidston ancestry, she obtained information about her grandfather’s family and made a visit to his home town of Glasglow. She became aware of a remarkable document written by a distant cousin, John Kidston Tait (b. 1924, d. 2013), that gave a detailed record of her Scottish ancestry back to her 12th great grandfather, John Kydstoun of Logie parish, Sterlingshire (Tait, 1995: The Kidstons’ of Logie; 1995 edition, 20 Chapters, 4 Addendum). Information provided by Mr. Tait revealed that the Kidston family name had a much older presence at the town of Peebles located in the lowland county of Peeblesshire. Seen today on road maps of Peebles are the place locations Upper Kidston, Nether Kidston, Kidston Mill, Kidston Burn (a stream), and Kidston Bank Woods. Expecting to find some Kidston relatives living at Peebles to contact for information about family history, you can imagine our surprise when we learned that no Kidstons’ have lived at Peebles for more than 700 years.

  • Stirling and Clacks Newsletter 2018
    Stirling and Clackmannanshire SWT Group’s Annual Newsletter April 2017 - April 2018 1. Membership The local membership has dropped slightly from 738 in 2017 to 708 households (1292 members) in 2018. 2. Winter Meetings and Outings Our winter talks programme has been held in a new venue at Stirling Indoor Bowling Club. This move seems to have been satisfactory and attendances have held up in the range 30-50, The move has required greater involvement of the committee setting out chairs and projection equipment and making teas etc. and we are indebted to Jan Harbidge who has shouldered much of this burden. Our talks included: ‘Wild Life Conservation in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park’ , ‘The Potential Impact of Brexit on Environmental Watching Water Rails at Cambus Pools Legislation’, ‘RSPB’s Plans for the Forth Estuary’, ‘The Future of the Scottish Wildcat’ and ‘The Birds of Clackmannan’. We introduced two new initiatives both of which were successful. We invited the wildlife artist Darren Woodhead to show us how he so successfully captures images of wildlife in the field under the most adverse conditions. Secondly we dedicated a meeting to reviewing our Group’s conservation efforts at our Cambus Pools Reserve. Committee members discussed how the populations of birds, mammals, moths and plants have changed over the last 30 years (see reserve report below). Our major outdoor event was an Open Day at Cambus Pools. We put out moth traps and mammal traps overnight and then invited the local residents and SWT members to discover what we had caught on camera.
